Lange Blaster 75 Ski Boots 2013

Everything in moderation, well everything except incredible tech and boot feel. The Lange Blaster 75 Ski Boots offer the same exceptional fit as its stiffer counterparts but with a more moderate 75 flex index. The 102mm last and more articulate heel pocket offer superior stability and all day comfort. The Blaster 75 is available in both covert black and the more flashy translucent blue to appeal to a wider spectrum of aspiring all-mountain skiers looking to make their mark on the mountain.

Ability Level:Beginner-Intermediate

Beginner-Intermediate

Someone who is new to the sport or working on linking smoother turns falls into this ability level. Typical beginner ski/snowboard qualities include: softer materials, narrower widths, and capped constructions. The idea is to create a ride that is easy to turn and very forgiving in case you become off balance or fall in the back seat. The addition of rocker in the tip and tail gives a catch-free feeling and shorter contact length when the ski/snowboard is flat on the snow, making it easier to turn.

I was skiing on $20 boots so these were a huge upgrade for me. They are real comfortable and I've skiied in them once so far. They are warm and are not hard to walk in at all.

One complaint I have is how hard they were to put on. I probably just need to break them in though. The other complaint I have is they feel a bit narrow. My right foot near my pinky toe kept getting pushed against the shell, and by the end of the day I had a blister. I couldn't figure it out but it was probably due to user error.

The boots were extremely hard to get on at first. But, it did not take long for my feet to feel comfortable. The first time I used them, it was 5 degrees and my feet stayed warm. Definitely, a good boot for the money.
